When stopped in the PATTERN WRITE and PATTERN PLAY MODE, and when
stopped in the TRACK WRITE Mode the PATTERN GROUP button (N) switches
the TR-606's memories between the 16 Rhythm Patterns in PATTERN GROUP (N) I
and the 16 Rhythm Patterns in PATTERN GROUP (N) II.
When stopped in the TRACK PLAY Mode, the Pattern Group number which has
been used to program the Track in the PATTERN WRITE Mode will be selected
automatically. The PATTERN GROUP button (N) itself will have no effect.
When stopped in the TRACK WRITE or TRACK PLAY Mode, hold the PATTERN
GROUP button (N) down while pressing the FUNCTION button (J), and the LED
indicators (L) will display the bar number to which the $ sign has been assigned.
When stopped in the TRACK WRITE Mode, the PATTERN GROUP button (N)
selects the PATTERN GROUP to be written into that Track Memory.
When running in the TRACK WRITE Mode, the PATTERN GROUP button (N) will
assign the current bar as the $ sign bar in the Track memory.
(M) TAP Button
Depending on the MODE selector (B) position and the RUN/STOP condition, this
button will perform the following functions:
When running in PATTERN WRITE Mode, this button will perform the real time Tap
programming.
When running in the PATTERN PLAY Mode, the TAP button (M) acts as a STEP
RESET button (M) to cause the Running Rhythm Pattern to immediately begin again
from the first Step of the current Rhythm.
When stopped in the TRACK PLAY or TRACK WRITE Mode, the TAP button (M)
will advance the bar further into the selected track.
When running in the TRACK PLAY Mode, pressing the TAP button will
immediately return the Track being played to the measure that has been assigned the $
sign and continue normally from that point.
When running in the TRACK WRITE Mode, the Tap button will perform a
WRITE/NEXT function (M), writing the Rhythm Pattern currently being heard and
indicated on the LED indicators (L) into the Track memory and advancing the bar
number assignment accordingly.
This WRITE/NEXT function (M) always deals in complete Rhythm Pattern units. If a
chained Rhythm Pattern is written into a track using the TAP button (m), the Bar
number will advance the number of bars contained within the Chained Rhythm
Pattern.
